:.. The Man

Almost broke, living on handouts with his mom in a shabby apartment outside post-war Los Angeles, a paralyzed kid in his mid-twenties got an idea. He’d re-sell the music of a dead man: his father’s music. Within a few years, mother and son would be working for MGM on a Doris-Day romp and for Hollywood’s most beloved hack, Ed Wood Jr., on Plan Nine from Outer Space. A decade later they had a house above the Sunset Strip in a comeback story too farfetched for any screenplay.
